Newspaper Page TextrOUR MEDFOHD MAIL TMBUNB Thursdar, August 34, 1944 Doollttle, Mo. (U.R) There's a new town In Missouri and this is it. It's named for the former St. Louisan who led the first American air raid on Tok yo. Lt Gen. Jimmy Doolittle. Fnr more than 15 years, this tlnv Diece of Ozark farmland along U. S. Highway 66 was known informally but not le gally as "Centerville Garage" to denote Its halfway spot between Bolla and Newburg, Mo. Appropriate Is the name Doo llttle, for the new town liter llv snrane from war clouds which in 1941 saw start of con structlon of Fort Leonard Wood, in miles away. Camp workmen slept where they could and tourist cabins soon appeared thickly along the straight two-mile roaa sireicn called Centerville. Then came the soldiers, and Centerville became the mecca of their families. Population now is 208, about 125 of them permanent residents. Lou Hargis, who runs one of the most popular tourist re treats and also serves as Arling ton Township Justice of the peace, long had thought of In corporating the community. So awile back he called a meeting. On hand were Phelps County Attorney Lynn Bradford and Raymond Brant, the county surveyor. So were shoe repair man Clyde Haas filling station operator Jimmy Hines, and the "pioneer" garageman, Monroe Ramsey. Bradford, as attorney for the group, drew up a plan showing that the new town would be two miles long and a half mile wide. That done, the question of a name arose. Centerville was ruled out when It was found there was another Centerville, the county seat of Reynolds County, only one county re moved. Then up spoke cobbler Haas: "Seems we've had quite a hand In building up our armed forces," said he. "Why not call our town after one of Missouri's Rreatest war heroes Jimmy Doollttle?' "Why not?" echoed Lou Har gis enthusiastically. "And we'll get the general himself to come down here and dedicate Doo llttle, Mo., after the war." All that was left to do then was the filing of Incorporation papers in the Phelps County court at nearby Rolla. This was the proud duty of Doollttle's five newly-elected trustees, Har gis, Hines, W. O. Durham, prin cipal of Newburg high school; Bob Craln of the Missouri bur eau of mines, and Ika Towell, veteran grocer. The trustees will serve until next April, when a mayor and other city fathers will be elected to watch over the welfare of the new town's citizens. BIRTHS BANCE To Mr. and Mrs. W.
